Shinryu vs Deltascape

[Nabian]

I think the big thing about Shinryu is that none of the mechanics are new. It should be easier than it is, but many players are lazy or have been carried to this point. Try joining a mostly premade where the people actually know what their doing and you'll see how easy the fight gets.

The problem with this answer, though, is that there's enough mechanics that you can either forget, or perhaps Person A knew about a mechanic, but either forgot or RNG put him at a bad place to avoid it. Person A dies. Then, 5 seconds later on the next mechanic, Person B ends up in the same situation, he dies. Get 3-4 more deaths and it might as well be run over, ESPECIALLY if one of them is a healer or the MT.


Anybody can make mistakes, and Shinryu does not let you make very many mistakes until you're so far in the hole, the only thing you can do is desperately toss raises and Healer LB3s and you still won't make it in some cases. Once a healer goes down, everything goes to crap very fast.

Compare that to Omega's bosses, where most of them (except for Exdeath...) lack any sort of instant-kill mechanic, or at least getting insta-killed requires some seriously bad fail and even then, it's rare enough that the occasional death is not going to equal a wipe.

I mean, for crying out loud, I did the first 2 bosses without a single death, blind (having never read up on them or watched a video). I died on the 3rd boss as MT only because I didn't receive a heal quick enough and barely got clipped by an attack I was trying to sprint out of (bad RNG laying the AoE down in a very inconvenient spot), and I died once on Exdeath due to falling because again, I went in blind and didn't know about the knockback. Once I died to that, got back up, rest was easy. Didn't get hit for the rest of the fight as OT.

Compare that to Shinryu... wipe wipe wipe wipe wipe wipe. Some of Shinryu's choices of where to put AoEs are literally impossible to Sprint out of, one minor wrong step and you're dead, etc.
